Dane and Bindy

I just wanted to give a shout out to two amazingly talented friends of mine; Dane Peterson and Belinda Peterson-Baggs. In 2005, Dane made history by being the first surfer to ever appear on the cover of The Surfer's Journal in a vertical photo. A few year later Dane got another cover shot on the same magazine, only this time he was behind the lens. This new cover shot is on newsstands now and is a photo Dane shot of his wife Belinda. Belinda's cover shot also made history. In 18 years, this is the first time The Journal has ever had a female on the cover. Great work guys.

SALSA SURF CONTEST

I volunteered to judge a really neat surf contest on Saturday. The SALSA (Surfers Against Lou Gehrig's Disease Surfing Alliance) contest, went down on the South Side of the Huntington Beach Pier. The waves were really fun, everyone was ripping, and children of all ages had an amazing time. All the money raised from this incredible event were donated to helping find a cure to a disease doctors know relatively little about.

Pirates X Surfing

Surfing after the rain

With all the recent rain, I've decided to stay out of the water for a few days. Found this on Surfline . . .

Since the storm season is upon us here in California: What types of infections/diseases am I exposing myself to by surfing after or during the rain? I've heard that you can get Hepatitis, are there any other dangers? Is it worth it to get vaccinated for some of these diseases to lessen the risks?
